About this listen

The Battle for Earth has begun.

Victoria’s dreams of a cozy life as a small-town doctor come crashing down when the monstrous Kryptids make first contact. The alien invaders have only one goal: to turn Earth into a breeding ground. As she fights to protect her patients in their makeshift hospital, an even more fearsome alien and his beast enter the fray. She should be terrified of the male ominously named Doom. But she’s mesmerized.

As a genetically engineered war machine, Doom lives for a single purpose: eradicating the Kryptids. Coming to Earth with his brothers to save the humans should be a straightforward matter. But years of bloody battles throughout the galaxy have not prepared him for the fiery Victoria. Enchanted by the courage of that wisp of a woman, Doom offers her his protection and that of his fearless war beast, Stran, as she attempts to rescue other wounded humans. After disaster strikes their homeworld, the Xian Warriors now also face extinction.

Will the Kryptids finally defeat their only real threat, or will the delicate human that has stolen both of Doom’s hearts also be the Warriors’ seed of hope?

Lot's of potential but a bit too short

This had more tension and action than most sci-fi romance audiobooks that I have listened to. The story is really interesting and high-stakes it just feels like there isn't enough time to explore it thoroughly and quite frankly, not enough time left for the romance itself. I also prefer more spice. This novel only has two spicey scenes.
I still prefer when books use a male and female narrator but I think this narrator did a really good job. The different characters had distinct voices and I loved the effect they use for telepathic speech. It made this book especially fun to listen to.

Worth Repeating

I just discovered Regine Abel and have already purchased extra credits to buy all of her available audiobooks. Now I’m re-listening to her series. I LOVE this book and all of them actually. Haven’t read a book by this author that I didn’t love. I went to her site and discovered there are more books in this series published but they’re not audiobooks yet. Normally I only “read” audiobooks because I can multitask, but I’m seriously thinking of taking the time to sit down and read her ebooks because I can’t wait for audiobooks to be made out of them.

Too short to be special or unique

There was great potential with this story which the author wasted by making it too short. Character development was minimal. The heroine saw Doom, the Xian Warrior for half a day, the next thing we know - she's ready to sign up for life. I mean I listen to enough Sci-fi books to not be surprised by the "alien" bonding for life at a glance.
Throughout the book, storylines advanced without notice. Years pass without a peep until the heroine mentions how much time has passed.
Disappointed with the lack of detail and the lack of originality in the conversations.
I enjoyed Christian Black's narration. This was my first time listening to him.

Cool world building cut short

The biggest problem is that the book is too short for all of the concepts and ideas the author wanted to push into it. I understand that it is the start of the series but it really felt like this book was a means to an end. The romance felt really haphazardly thrown in. Honestly, the character I liked best is Legion whose book is next in the series. I’m excited to read his story and I hope we get to actually spend time with him and his partner rather than vaguely time jumping through plot points.

entrancing story!

Even after listening to Doom many times, it still makes me laugh, cry and squirm. This is a stunning series, I love what I've read so far!

This series is EPIC!

I will try to express how awesome this book is. This series is. Regine has blown my mind with such creativity in her characters and world building. I am in love with these Xian Warriors! This audio nailed it for me as well. I highly recommend this whole series. Action. Adventure. Drama. Loss. Love. And of course... Incredible sex! 😍

Different

I love alien romances but I am always looking for something with a bit of a twist. I can say that this succeeds in that. It’s well worth a credit.

Started with a Bang

The story started with a lot of actions; but fizzled out toward the end. The storyline is an interesting one; however, I believe the problem is the need for a female narrator for female characters; Christian did a great job with male characters, just not with females.
